Nigerian forward, Christantus Uche, was the star of the show as Getafe kicked off their 2025/26 La Liga campaign with a solid 2-0 victory away at Celta Vigo on Sunday night.
Uche runs the show
The 22-year-old forward was in unstoppable form for the Azulones, delivering both a goal and an assist to secure all three points for his side.
Omo, this guy dey ball — Uche was everywhere, creating chances, pressing hard, and proving why he’s one to watch this season.
How the goals came
Just two minutes into the second half, Uche set up Adrian Liso, who calmly slotted home the opener to put Getafe ahead.
Then, with just 18 minutes left on the clock, Uche doubled the lead himself, finishing confidently to silence the Celta Vigo crowd and wrap up the win.
It was a complete attacking display from the young Nigerian, who kept the home defence busy all night.
Man of the Match performance
Unsurprisingly, Uche’s brilliant display earned him the Man of the Match award, with fans and pundits alike praising his energy, intelligence, and finishing ability.
For a player who is still only 22, this performance has further raised expectations about what he can achieve this season.
Eyes on Sevilla next
Uche will now be hoping to continue his fine form when Getafe welcome Sevilla in their next league fixture this weekend. If he maintains this level, omo defenders go get sleepless nights.
